Test point footprints display their refdes on both the F.silks and B.silks layers; one of these is the canonical refdes component of the footprint; the other is a text property whose text is ${REFERENCE} and evaluates to the former. (By making this a property, and not a literal text object, it can be dragged around on the pcb rather than bolted in place relative to other footprint elements.)
I expect ${REFERENCE} to be substituted with TP12 or similar; instead it is shown verbatim in the viewer.
(Looking more closely, it appears that all references in the footprints -- e.g. the SMD resistors -- are replaced with the string ${REFERENCE}, not just "extra" reference labels.)
